Director of Travel Industry & Leisure Sales
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the job posting.
Content:
- About Us: description of hotel.
- Then a paragraph about not meeting every requirement, encouraging application, valuing military experience.
- Compensation: Salary Range: $115,000 - $125,000 Annually; Tipped/Service Charge Eligible? No; Discretionary Performance Bonus Eligible? Yes.
- Overview: description of role responsibilities.
- Essential Duties And Responsibilities: broken into subheadings: Strategic Leadership, Revenue Generation, Group Sales Leadership, Transient Sales Leadership, Relationship Management, Market Visibility and Industry Engagement, Forecasting and Business Analysis.
- Qualifications: includes Qualifications and Skills, Education and Experience (list of bullet-like sentences).
- Benefits: description of benefits.
- Then EEO boilerplate etc to remove.
We need to produce sections: maybe About Us (though not in list but could be considered "About the role"? Actually they gave examples: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use those headings if appropriate. The posting includes "About Us" which is about the hotel, not the role. Could map to "About the role"? But they said use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It seems they expect those headings. We can include About the role (maybe summarizing overview). But we must not invent content. We have "Overview" section describing role responsibilities. Could treat that as "About the role". Also we have "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" which is responsibilities. Could treat that as "Responsibilities". Qualifications and Skills as "Qualifications". Benefits as "Benefits". Pay as "Pay" (salary range and bonus). Schedule not present, so omit.
We must not create sections with placeholder text. So we include only sections with real content.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the About Us description? Not sure if we need to include it. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." The About Us is not job title; it's about the hotel. Should we include it? Possibly as a section "About the role"? But that would be inaccurate. However they gave examples of headings; maybe we can use any heading we want as long as it's
. The examples are just suggestions. So we could have sections: About the Hotel, Overview, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. But they said "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". That implies we should use those headings if applicable. But we can also use other headings if they fit? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those are typical. Safer to stick to those.
Thus we need to map content to those headings.
- About the role: could include the Overview paragraph (strategic leadership, etc). Also maybe the "About Us" could be considered about the role? Not exactly. But we could include About Us as part of About the role? Might be stretching.
Better: Use About the role for the Overview description. Use Responsibilities for the Essential Duties And Responsibilities (with subpoints). Use Qualifications for the Qualifications and Skills section. Use Benefits for the Benefits section. Use Pay for the Compensation section (salary range, bonus). Omit Schedule.
We also need to include the "About Us" hotel description somewhere. It's substantive information about the employer. Should we include it? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include it. Where to put? Could be a preceding
before any headings, as minor metadata? It's not minor; it's substantive. Could create a section "About the hotel"? Not in list but maybe we can add a heading like "About the hotel". The instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. So we could add an
About the hotel
with that paragraph. That would preserve info.
But they said "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we can add About the hotel.
Thus final HTML: About the hotel

Salary Range: $115,000.00 - $125,000.00 Annually. Tipped/Service Charge Eligible: No. Discretionary Performance Bonus Eligible: Yes.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information from each section.
Let's extract details.
About Us paragraph:
"Located on the iconic Sunset Strip, The Sun Rose West Hollywood is a newly rebranded, independent, award-winning hotel and a proud member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts. The property features 149 guest rooms and suites, a signature rooftop poolside restaurant, a full-service spa, and an intimate live music venue. Set on the former House of Blues site, The Sun Rose is writing its next great chapter with a guest experience rooted in design, cultural expression, and a strong sense of place. Delivering an experience that’s magnetic, quietly bold, and unmistakably West Hollywood."
Then the paragraph about not meeting every requirement: "Don't meet every single requirement of this job? At HEI we are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to still send in your information. You may be the perfect candidate for this or for other roles within our organization! We value U.S. military experience and invite all qualified military candidates to apply."
That is also substantive; maybe include as part of About the role or a separate note. Could be placed as a after About the hotel before About the role. It's not a heading but we can include as a paragraph.
